Rivers state governor-elect, Nyesom Wike, has accused the outgoing governor of the state, Rotimi Amaechi, of engaging in the manufacture of fake visuals and audio in the Government House to mislead Nigerians on the state governorship election.
Nyesom Wike
Thisday reports that Wike made the statement on April 15, 2015, speaking on “Focus Nigeria,” a political programme on Africa Independent Television.
The governor-elect noted that there was no way that the All Progessives Congress (APC) would have won the governorship election in the state because the party was not ready for it. According to him, the APC in the state worked desperately to disrupt the governorship election by engineering violence, however, people of the state remained focused.
The governor-elect recalled that on the election day Amaechi came to his family home to provoke his supporters. He also went to different wards in various local governments, breaking electoral laws.
Wike expressed his regret that the APC had formed the habit of using deception to discredit elections in communities where its members lost
Wike noted that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) sitting governors lost elections in Benue, Bauchi, Kaduna, Niger, Jigawa and Plateau Sstates, but have chosen to respect the process. Amaechi in his turn has resorted to spreading falsehood with the help of his media associates/international observers.
